I don't speak for her and neither should you. No one should want someone else to take individual risks to defend your or anyone else's opinions that you claim they represent.
It is between her and her country which from all indications she loves, respects, and tries to do exactly what they ask of her while positively promoting their companies and technology.
She does not want this made public. This post is in no one's interest other than whoever tried to get her arrested. The situation was resolved. This post is an attempt to use an archive of a past incident to harass and get her further into trouble. Please flag this shit.
Norway has public tax records. This is one of the potential flaws of an otherwise, kinda cool openness. You can't be rich and have a 'normal' life. You have money in Norway, you have to have walls, staff, etc. just to have a bit of safety.
It is stupid to blame Obama or Trump even for the current state of Obamacare.
The parties involved right now are resulting in a much worse than medicare solution as it is similar to the three wolves one sheep version of democracy (which is the whole premise of libertarian concerns about democratic socialism). It is an attempt to obfuscate the otherwise obvious corruption and theft that is healthcare. Here the wolves are the AMA(doctors), insurers, pharma, and the politicians claiming to want to solve healthcare. The AMA and insurers have insane billing policies based on assuming inept doctors and corrupt patients.
Most insurance today is just passing on the discounted (actual) price on to the insured co-pay or deductible. They cover very little normal costs of medicine nor do they provide any actual services for their premium.
The main reason we don't have universal medicaid/medicare is similar to why the IRS doesn't do electronic filing themselves. Billions of dollars of middleman and tens of thousands of otherwise worthless jobs are on the line.
We need a private/public system. It will initially look costly and it will suck (differently) for doctors and hospitals. However, in five to ten years the costs will stabilize and insurance and other services will be more honest as they will have real competition.
Also, he should try to just fly back to the UK for non-emergency issues. Most foreign friends I have just keep insurance in their home countries as it costs usually 100-200 a year. A $1k flight back to see your family is cheaper than any surgery in the US.
Sorry, that was my point by approaching the 'truth' from both directions.
They were already in the class or network of people. They knew they were going to be 'doing that work' because they were already recruited into that world long before university. It has nothing to do with their degree other than a passing qualification that they were expected to receive and in many cases the school just hands them no matter what their grades really were.
The degree is a technicality to their position and I am saying that the example you gave while interesting is not normal for anyone planning to work for a living.
I worked peripherally to publishing and am quite familiar with the situation. We had $1 million plus commission sales people 'of the right sort'. Did they know what the tech they sold did or have any real sales skills? Did it matter?
That is like saying all kids should play basketball because they could get into the NBA. There are always lucky rich people. A ton of Microsoft and Amazon VPs have local MBA degrees. Does that mean that my Seattle City MBA will make me $1 million a year?
What did I just read???
I can't help but feel stupider for reading it.
This is complete garbage. Some relationship to the internal frequencies of the brain, ie. its various analog clock tree mechanisms means that because all matter is based on subatomic vibrations rocks and atoms have a degree of consciousness too?
Wow, my laptop running at 2.2GHz(and various other frequencies) must be a supreme being.
Yes, obviously a clock tree is important to sync various neurons together efficiently and where ever there are conflicts, ticks will be lost or (whatever the thought real equivalent is). The more sync'ed the more complex the brain obviously, but whether that is 'consciousness' or just efficiency... or anything else? This writer obviously has no clue. At least they didn't say the brain is a quantum computer because of vibrations.
Was going to say the same thing. Horrible stripper lunch sales practices and outright lies about product capabilities. So sad that shit works, but most IT execs are idiots and they knew how to exploit them.
They could get execs to save face and sign off on bumbling through two years delivering non-functional crap that could never do what was promised for millions.
Grit is not unknown in business and has similar problems with hiring. I helped a start up ran by some executives trying to pitch B average state school engineers as they reach senior status significantly faster than more competitive school graduates. HR depts in most tech companies pushed back as they like to hire top school candidates. Similarly as they pivoted to produce advanced hiring processes to recommend these students, HRs refused to lower their days and days of interviews that have low completion rates.
HR is almost always the failure in hiring and I am sure the recruiting/admissions will fight against whatever 'grit' factors and measurement is figured out as they still feel good personally about good grades and test scores.
I wish this article wasn't flagged, as even if the info is biased crap it is an important topic.
The only comment I have toward the discussion is to remember that the medical field (especially in the US) has a strong religious bias to diet. There are universities, medical schools, and hospitals built by religious groups who have very strong opinions on what is a 'good' diet. Medicine is more craft than science. Medical study quality and governance board decisions should always be questioned.
In the suburban liberal utopia I live, we get lots of door knockers/canvassing.
Republicans are usually a middle aged male female team. They are very polite and will discuss the election in general before admitting who they represent. They will also try to sway with fiscal voting histories and moderate policy choices.
Democrats will usually be a group of twenty year olds or middle aged teachers. They are pleasant, but immediately hand you the flyer and start to discuss 'stopping' this or that. They usually don't talk about their candidate, but discuss negatively the competition and Republican national level platform concepts and of course recently Trump. The majority of flyers they send out are negative campaigns.
There is one campaign this year and the only ads running on TV right now is a negative ad against the Republican because he voted against funding bills that claimed to support some senior citizen project and schools. I honestly think this is a smooth play on the Republican party to keep quiet.
